If you’re reading this article, then chances are pretty high that you are already a prepper. The chances are even higher that being prepared to protect your family is at the top of your list of priorities. In this article, I’m going to ask you a few simple questions to see if you really are prepared to protect your family in a crisis or if you’re making the mistake of putting “all your eggs in one basket” so to speak. What do I mean by this, you might ask? If you think that protecting your family is only about how…

What if I were to tell you that one of the most important things you can do to keep yourself safe doesn’t have anything at all to do with your every day carry gear? Would you be surprised?

I like to consider myself a little bit of a combination of the two types. For example, I HOPE that nothing bad ever happens that leads to a major breakdown in civilized society but I plan and prepare as if that day WILL someday come. Regardless of what group you might fall into, for the sake of this article, I’d like you to assume that one day in the future, some kind of catastrophic event…
